EXPOSITION du 10 mai au 8 juin 2012
RASMUS MOGENSEN / PERFECTLY NATURAL
Les photographies de cette série
sont entre le réel et le fantastique, la volonté du
photographe étant de créer des femmes au corps irréel.
Les figures féminines de Rasmus
Mogensen sont en partie réalisées dans l’esprit des comics
books de l’Italien Milo Manara.
Il exprime la sexualité féminine flagrante de femmes fortes
restant ainsi dans le thème des
histoires érotiques de Manara.
Rasmus Mogensen photographie ses models sous des angles changeants dans lesquels
il
produit ouvertement des corps de femme idéalisés. Il pointe
son objectif sous divers angles
donnant au sujet une force indéniable.Il leur attribut davantage de
force en re manipulant
leurs corps par la suite. L’une de ses préoccupations majeure
est de mettre délibéremment
en avant l’irréel de l’idéal physique de nos imaginaires
Contemporains. Le spectateur est
confronté à l’idée de la femme «idéale»
paraissant «Parfaitement Naturelle» mais en réalité
étrangement trop parfaite.
«la photographie est pour moi la recherche de l’harmonie des formes
et de la composition.
Ce qui me fait avancer c’est qu’une carrière créative
est toujours en évolution et à la
recherche d’une forme de perfection. J’aime le fait qu’il
y ait toujours quelque chose à rendre
meilleur».
Rasmus Mogensen
Perfectly Natural
These murals are part-real and part-fantasy created by the photographer, in
which he has
produced overtly idealized female bodies. Mogensen's female figures are partially
made in the
spirit of Italian comic book artist Milo Manara. Depicting blatantly sexualized
women in strong
female roles is a consistent theme in Manara's erotic graphic novels.
Mogensen has initially photographed his models from a shifted perspective,
aiming his
camera from low, up at the women, in turn giving them an undeniable sense
of strength and
power. He then further fashioned his strong females by digitally manipulating
their forms. One
of his objectives is to deliberately reflect the surreal or unnatural physical
ideals of our
contemporary era by incorporating the use of image manipulation. The viewer
is confronted
with these "ideal" women who look "perfectly natural"
but in reality are strangely too perfect.
Mogensen's comments on his view in creating perfection using images "Photography
is for
me a search for harmonious shape and composition. What keeps me going is the
fact that a
creative career is a never-ending evolution in the search for a perfection
that does not exist. I
love the fact that there is always something you can become better at in the
process."
Rasmus Mogensen was born in Copenhagen, Denmark in 1974.
He began his photography career working as a photo assistant both in Copenhagen
and
New York.
His first independent exhibition, at age 17, was at the Gallery Photografica
in Copenhagen.
